The Umbrella company is planning to purchase one of two substances. Management wants a 20% return on all investments. Use the provided present value tables for this question. If you use excel or a different table your answer will be marked incorrect by the quiz autograder. The first is a substance known as Serum X. Serum X would cost $25,000 and would have a useful life of 10 years with zero salvage value. The expected annual cash flow of the serum is $10,000. The second substance is known as Serum Z. Serum Z would cost $20,000 and would have a useful life of 6 years with zero salvage value. The expected annual cash flows are as follows: Year 1 $7,000 Year 26,000 Year 3 5,500 Year 4 4,000 Year 5 3,000 Year 6 2,500 Required: 1. Compute net present value (NPV) of Serum X. 0 $ 2. Compute net present value (NPV) of Serum Z. 0 $ 3. Which Serum if any should the company purchase based on the payback period? Enter your answer as Serum X, Serum Z, or None.
